Listen "The Power of “I Know Nothing”: Why Experts Must Keep Learning"

Episode Synopsis

The moment you say “I already know this” is the moment you stop growing.

In this episode of Rockstar Success, I’m diving into one of the biggest traps smart, experienced professionals fall into: closed-loop thinking. Whether it’s in business, leadership, sport, or life... walking into any room with an “I’ve done this before” mindset can be the very thing holding you back.

We explore:

* What really happens when we stop being curious and start assuming

* Why high-performers (and entire teams) can stagnate even with all the tools at their fingertips

* The power of showing up to every opportunity with a “teach me something new” energy

* The problem with information without implementation and how to fix it

* Why personalisation, accountability, and commitment are what actually drive long-term success

I’ll share stories from roller derby, Unleash the Power Within, my own speaker training, and more, plus what it taught me about being a leader who learns and a learner who leads.

This episode is a must-listen if you're building a culture of high performance, championing growth in your team, or personally striving to stretch beyond what you think you already know.

Because real success? It comes from staying teachable.
